RC week #3

A whole onetwo three weeks has passed since I began my programming journey at the Recurse Center!

Before the start of RC, I had the goal of doing a new project every two weeks OR two blog posts a week. I decided to do this after talking to RC alum Nat about his experience during RC.

I was also encouraged to go with this plan after talking to James, facilitator at RC. He’s advise really stuck with me. He said that the most important thing I can do as a beginner is to maximize the amount of code written each day!

I also came up with some rules to make the goal plausible and fun.

Each project/blog post has to be simple/silly/useful

Each project/blog post has to teach me something new about frontend development(HTML / CSS / JS)

Each project/blog post has to use the terminal, git and pushed to github.

Each project has to be named after an architect. (paying homage to a profession after abandoning it 🙂 )

Obviously this plan doesn’t work for everyone. But for me, I learn best if I study something by doing 12 different project on it as opposed to looking at that something 12 times.
